The Eccentric Origin of Monkey 47
 
Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin stands as a testament to the adventurous and enigmatic character of its creator, Montgomery Collins. Collins, a British diplomat's son who grew up in East Asia, a military man in post-war Berlin, and later a resident of the Black Forest, crafted a gin recipe that is as eclectic as his own life story. His diverse experiences are reflected in this unique gin, which seamlessly blends the great British traditions, the aromatic spices of India, and the rich flora of the Black Forest.
 
An Audacious Mix of Ingredients
 
Monkey 47 is distinguished by its use of 47 handpicked botanicals, a third of which are sourced directly from the Black Forest. This is not your typical gin; it incorporates unconventional ingredients such as local lingonberries, which act as the gin’s "secret weapon," contributing to its distinctive taste. These ingredients are combined with extremely soft spring water from the Black Forest, enhancing the gin’s smoothness and overall flavor profile.
 
Masterful Craftsmanship
 
The gin’s complex array of ingredients is fully realized through expert distillation and maturation in traditional earthenware containers. This careful process helps preserve the purity and enhance the intricate flavors of the botanicals, resulting in a gin of unrivaled complexity and quality.
 
Versatile and Complex Tasting Notes
 
Monkey 47 offers a deep and harmoniously balanced complexity that makes it an ideal base for a wide range of cocktails. With a scent that includes the distinct notes of juniper, a crisp citrus tang, sweet floral aromas, and a hint of peppery spices, it’s perfect for elevating classic cocktails like martinis and slings or crafting more inventive concoctions. The finish is tremendously racy, with subtle bitter fruit notes, ensuring a memorable tasting experience.
